Three gentlemen and one lady received
the honors due the occasion : Miss - Grace
Kinner, daughter of Mr. A. A. Kinner, of
this place, Mr. Howard Allen, Mr. Ever
ett Buchanan and his brother Dennis,
Constituted the grad uating class. Achieve
ments of the Anierican Navy, was the
subject treated by Mr. Dennis Buchanan
in his oration, and in full tones he spoke
of its many glorious achievements, and
did himself credit. Silent Forces was
Mr. Allen's theme, and in well chosen
-words he called attention to the various
silent forces in nature that flourish, :and
through the- silent' medium of thought
cause the wilderness to blossom by the
advance of improvements planned iu si
knee. Miss Kinner read an essay entitled
' 4) Beyond the Alps to Our Italy," in a
clear pleasant voice; she called attention
to the difficulties to surmount in this.life, -
and the prospect that we attain to a high
er life unfaltered by evil. Miss K. has
the honor of being 'one of the many fine
young ladies of AthenS, and by her man
ner to-day she is entitled to the name—
Grace. Mr., Everett BuChanan had the
honor ofdelivering the , Valedictory Ad

teachers and pupils, were in unusually
well chorea words, and the sentiments ad

The church was nicely decorated with
flowers, and filled to overthawing with pa
rents, pupils and friends. All did. well,
and we congratulate Prof. B. on his - sue-.

BBADFOBD BAPTIST ASSOCIATION.
The forty-fourth. anniversary was held
with the Baptist Church at Leroy, Brad
ford County, Pa... June 17th, 18th and
19th. The Association convened at two
o'clock r. ar;; the opening sermon was by
Rev. Edmund Wells, of Canton, Pa.,
from Acts, 28:20. The sermon, was one
of unusual force, and highly interesting to
the large number of delegateS. present
from the churches.
In the evening the Association was. fa-.
vored by a sermon from Hoy. David Spen
cer, agent of. the American Baptist For
eign.llissionary Union. The serinon.was
of gr,eat power, and was listened to with
great- attention by the large audience.
Text,. - Ist Timothy, 4:8..
-Wednesday morning the Association
convened f4r.business at nine o'clock. At
10i o'clock {Rev. J. W." Plannett i - pastor
at Austinrille . and Columbia, preached
from John1:10. Ills theme was re
generation. 'The interest by thiS time , in
the meetings had grown to such an extent
that the :Inis° could 'not- accommodate
the people; but the interest of the subject,
and thelability shown in its preparation,
and the clear and forcible manner in
which every word was spoken, captivated
the audience to the close. ..
At balf-put one o'clock• Rev. G. M.
S. pat, D. D., agent of the Pennsylvania
Baptist Education Society, preached a
sermon of rare excellence, on the fano+
thins of the ministerial office,' and the
need of a thorough knowledge of the Bi
ble and science to make good and faithful
ministers of Christ. 1 . .
In the •evening the Association was
again addressed, this time by Rev. Levi
G. Beck, agent of the Pennsylvania .Gen
eral Association. In his sermon he set
forth the vast amount of work that had
been accomplished during the year by the
missionaries sustained by the society, and
the great amount of work yet to be ac
complished.
Thursday morning' the Association
closed _with a sermon by Rev. A. Tilden,
of East Smithfield, and a free conference,
WhiCh was peiluips the most precious part,
of the entire meeting.
The chinches of . the Association are at
present better supplied with pastors than
they have been for a number of years; and
the outlook is very encouraging. The
tnostef the churches ihowed a growth in
membership, and all seem to have a stron
ger desire than ever to do more and bet
ter smirk in the Master's service than dur,-
ing the past year.
Among the ministers present was Rev.

Aunt aemima's -Jealousy.
" What did I hear you say, Emma,
Matilda— that you didn't believe
there was any real love without . a
shade of jealousy I. Well, that shows
what a real silly, light hearted,' un
calculating young goosy you are I"
Aunt, Jemima drew a lona breath
and shook her head and forefinger
with gravity 'at her demurelypretty
niecy and 'then went on : "You're
not content to let things go smooth
and easy, though, goodness, that
Edward Marshall is as nice a young'
gentleman as I . ever knew, and you
ought to be thankful—since, you are
n - woman and can't pick and choose
for yourself, brit must Wait till some
young man asks you—that you're
lucky enough to be his choiec,With
out picking 'flaws in him and trying
to spoil the happiness that so few,
have the good Mauro to enjoy."
"I am not picking flaws 'in Ed=
ward Marshall, Aunt 'Mime," pro
tested • Emma -Matilda. " I'm only
Saying how sorry I am that he isn't
poetical and more' like, a story-book
lover. Why, he never. goes into rap
tures or tantrums, or anything - nice,
but just keeps calm apd good natured
all the time t I wish I lived in the
days when men were knights, and
wore. swords, and fought for tidies
they adOred—that. would . .be nice
And then they would not let anyone
even' look at the-_objeet
.of their de
votion. But'EdWard `Marshall seems
to think it is really nice to have me
taken off his' hands once in a while,
and . when I go out walking with a
gentleman 'friend, hoping to make
him wretched, he only smiles ] and
says •he hopes I've- been enjoying
myself."
Which is a clear proof that he
has good sense, and knows enough
not to make a fool of himself I" ex
claimed .Aunt Jemima,
".Now Kten to me for a moment,
Emma Mitilda, and I'll tell you
something" that ought to make you
feel serious. If it had not bean, for
jealousy I 'Should not have been your
old maid, • ' AuntJemima!' Yes,
my dear, it's no" joke to be an old
,maid ; you may well become s&emn
when you think of it, and now I'll
tell you how it happened." •
There had suddenly appeared, a
gush of tears in Aunt • Jemima's
spectacled eyes, and her nose became
alarmingly red while she spoke.
" It'sa natural 'emotion," she oh
served in excuse, "and very li%ely,
you may indulge :in the same forty
years from pow, if - Edward-Marshall's
image rises before your*inind,- and I
you have succeedeed in 'getting rid,
of him, through some nonsensical-'
freak.of jealousy., My dear, I. Wasn't
just like I am now when I was your
age, indeed. Some folks. called* me
andsome, and"l. know- my -cheeks
. were and my eyes were as . bright.
as the common rein of girls' eyes. I
had a sweetheart, too--a likely young
man as - I would car! to see--Cuth
bert Jones by name, anti if you'd told
me in' those days that — Jemitri
Rodgers would -have been on my
grave-stone . I shouldn't have be
lieved- it. • Cuthbert was warm
hearted, agreeable and, ppii,e, but he
was awfulty jealous.
" Itquay have been his hair-'-it fn
elined a little to the sandy; or it may
have been his eyes--Ithey had a kind
of greenish tinge., But Cuthbert was
mighty sharp if 'anyone looked -at
-.me, and we used to quarrel every.
time he . saw 'me smile at a young
man, even if it was his own brother.
After we had made up--and at first
it was so nice - to , make. up our
quarrels that they didn't seem so
.used, to say it *as because
te set stick store...by me that he Was
raving angry when be saw-me with
anyone else; and - I used tofeetaort
of pleased . and 'flattered, and-forgot
his black look'. and mean suspicions.
But, by-and-by I got spunky, and I
vowed would not stand 'such ty
ranny--that I'd never tie myself to a
Bluebeard and have my bead snapped
off if I did not mind every word-he
said.- Cuthbert's beard was not blue,
though - I- mast Say . •it was mtheten,
the- reddiatii , whick* may 'have 'ac
counted for :his being fusaY in his
disposition. Thogirlein our - village

call for- him "Mr. Jonei—

-It used- to mortify- him awful,for lie

They were in the humor.of it, and,so
we had fun,-I , tell you.

but it was a . sort of yellow,. that

pulled and pulled till he got and
matched my hair, -and then. .4e
twisted it:up into a curl, and vowed
he was going to haug it on my head.
I declared he shouldn't and ran
away, but he chased me clear out on
to the front porch, - where it was
bright moonlight, and we had eland
of tussle in which • I came, off best,
for I stuck his, tow hair so that he
had to wash it in hot water to keep
it from standing out in horns. -
"IVhile we were laughing and
struggling I heard the gate click;and
when I looked up after awhile, it
clicked again,Ond someone went out.
•If I hadn't known Cuthbert was out
'of town, I should -have said that it
was him that I saw walking.off, but
as he had gone to The city, I con
cluded I ,wa's mistaken. Next day I
found out different. I bad seen
Sarah-Jane and Abe off, and was
going on an errand to the store when
met Cuthbert, and be passed me,
scowling' just as if I' had.- been his
bitterest enemy. I was so astonished
that I just 'stood- still and looked
thunderstruck.
" Ile turned, looked back at me,
and finally 'retraced :his steps., ' I
have no right to address a young
lady who has promptly secured a new
lover in my absence !" says &yin his
loftiest manner, while , his face be
came a blazing scarlet and his eyes
almost 'glared. ,
"'Are you addressing ',the in that
way, sir ?' I says ; for I had a spirit
of my own, anti he knew it.
"'Yes.'l am alluding to the gen::
tleman you were so familiar with last
evening that you arranged his hair
for him on your front porch.
" For a moment I stared at him,
and then I took to roaring and laugh
ing, for it really did seem good fun.
You're Jealous again, Cuthbert,'
says I ; 6 and this time it ill'orAbe
Brown, who won't be fourteen ye,an

" Somehow, this thinggot out, titiO•
Cuthbert was plagued about it #
good- deal. The crowns stopped
on their. way back from Norwood,
and when Cuthbert saw what a baby
flced chap his rival was, he felt.
awfully silly, though we had made
it all up, by that - time, - on his solemn
promise never to be jealous again."
Aunt Jemima heaved a. deep sigh.
"I suppose it was hie nature," she
continued. " The leopard's, spot s
and Ethiopian's.. skin are hard to
change; and so 'was his jealousy.'
He'd been just as good as pie, never
finding fault with .me about glancing
at any one else, or taking .me to task

HORRORS OF A BULLFIGHT.
IMPALED UPON ATM 11011.148 (If Tilt
MADDENED MEXICAN ANIMAL.
Letter to San !random Chronicle.
I bad been riding all day in tho
.glowing heat of the sultry climate,
and let my jaded mule walk quietly
along - the narrow trail by which I
was approaching the ancient: town of
Bayderagnato, in Northwestern Mex
ico. On , entering the town I saw a
moderate-sized house, which gave
hope - of safe' shelter and abniidant
food. - An old Mexican, seated upon
the doorstep, readily granted my re
quest for accommodations for the
night. I toldvy boat that I wished
to employ a guide who knew the way
across the country to location which
I designated. He informed me that
one could-not he-had-the next day,as
-there, was a grand bialfight on
the edge of the town, and the man I
would, hive to, employ was to fi ght
the bull. I 'decided at once to re
main and witness the contest.
The scene ot the fight was to be in
an old corral enclosed on three sides
by-high and thick adobe walls, and
on the other by what appeared to be
an,impccetrable fence Of a gro - Wth of
pitahaya, a cactus of a fluted coltim=
nar form 'anti armed With a bristling
artay - of strong, aharp_ thorns. My
hoot.procured for me a front seat,
from which 1 could obtain a full view
of the arena. •
After taking my seat I looked
doivir into the corral and could not
but adiaire:my guide, not only for
l*is -pOwerful.and perfect build i , but
also for his good-luamored expression.
There was sonic little delay before
the bullthe ti — the scene, but
when.e large gate in theadobe wall
was opened and -he .entered, the cor-

pressed me that if I could have easily

done so, although, but a moment be
fere I had, been so anxious to' wit

animal, well :knit, "strong Wand power
